Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
The house is very nicely presented - spaces are compact (except for the bathroom), well-organized, clean, and comfortable. The host was in communication with us before, during, and after our stay. We were briefly confused about the wi-fi access - there were two different networks and passwords given, but that was sorted out quickly. The house is in a quiet neighborhood not far from the center of York. On-street parking is available (first come, first served).We made simple meals, but the kitchen is supplied with equipment to make just about anything, and the washing machine came in handy for food spills on shirts! The only difficulty we had was with the heat. It worked, but the thermostat seemed to be set quite low, and any adjustments only overrode that for a couple of hours. That was fine downstairs, but the bedroom upstairs was hard to keep warm on cold nights. We put the wooly blanket from downstairs on the bed, so we slept comfortably, but the room was generally on the chilly side. It wasn't enough of an issue to keep us from enjoying our stay, though. It was nice to be able to make our own meals, to have a living room to unwind in late in the evening, and to be away from the hustle and bustle of York. It's a great place, especially if you're planning a leisurely, slow-paced vacation. I thoroughly recommend it.

Weekend City Break

Lovely accommodation only 15 minutes walk along the river into York centre and the train station. Good local pub round the corner and a great Chinese Takeaway. Ideal after a day walking round York. Would recommend.
